Liberals beg for the obfuscation of power through democratic politics.
Trump strips that away to reveal politics as pure will to power. Which shows radicals that all power comes from the barrel of a gun, as Mao said. Which must be good for the world if power under capitalism is seen more clearly for what it is: as the ruthless competition between members of the ruling class for control of the rest of us, the enslaved populations of the planet.
you can vote for afroman or or instead which is the same as a vote for trump according to liberals
Trump is gauche, but Biden shows that Democrats are just as willing to shut down the border and engage in genocide and brutally crack down on protesters and vote for an unqualified candidate. It might be useful for Biden to be in power to radicalize people away from electoralism entirely. He’s taking the mask off the Democratic Party.
so you agree, Biden is the accelerationist candidate
its true that radical movmements tend to grow under second terms of democratic presidents in recent times. (see obama and clinton)
What the fuck is left to destroy? There are three cities in LA county with bigger populations than a couple of states, yet we have the same amount of senators. Gerrymandering is out of control. They complain about Russia and China influencing elections, but the real game changer is corporate cash. When corporations are people and money is speech, you might not really have a functioning democracy.
halim alrah’s Your Democracy is a Sham and Here’s Why lays it out
The contradictions are sharp enough that no one can keep the “US democracy” glamour from further unraveling, and those same contradictions have appointed the most ghoulish and farcical as its “frontrunners” again. They wouldn’t be sitting where they are if they weren’t both perfectly suited to lead the death march.
But the liberals who want to see the glamour will continue to see it, no matter how much gunfire demonstrates the real flow of power. didn’t move them, and hasn’t either.
‘Don’t trust what the liberals say about themselves, they will move the goalposts’
I don’t want to see the Proud Boys or similar fascist thugs roaming the streets beating up and murdering people. Which would happen under Trump.
Yeah, thats just what cops do though
I didn’t want to see that either and it would happen under Biden
Source: it’s happening under Biden
I cannot see the American left emerging victoriously from anything that could conceivably happen as long as Americans can still get their treats. There’s no reason we wouldn’t just end up with a thousand years of Pinochets.
the liberals will line up to be interrogated like they did in Chile
i mean they’re wrong about that. if i believed them i absolutely would advocate voting for trump on accelerationist grounds. if he wins, things will get worse. if biden wins, things will get worse. democrats will not do anything about it either way.
Weird non-reason but entertainment has gotten a little better without the onus of having to address Trump, even the woke media has gotten more genuinely enjoyable. And while some of the right are trying to bring back slurs now there was this buffer of non PC but still pro-LGBT, pro-diversity, pro-abortion bro/half-chud comics, who along with reddit atheists were once an annoying but formidable cultural force against the religious right. They’d likely regularly call chuds the very slurs they’ve been trying to normalize.
But I feel like that coalition would go back to going on JRE and bitching about woke leftist snowflakes if Trump got back into office, while they have been more chill and less whiny about cancel culture in the Biden years.
They just rebranded it DEI
DEI is more about affirmative action and not as much about any cancel culture stuff, it is still localized to the right as opposed to bleeding over across the political spectrum like complaints about political correctness have.
Some apoliticals have been taking in by Gamergate 2.0 abd the SweetBaby Inc. shit. The frustratin of some men by perceived censorship of sexy shit in video games has made some inroads with nonchuds.
Gamergate 2 has none of the juice of Gamergate 1, the game they were targeting in the first was an indie game nobody played that people could make whatever up about indefinitely. This time they are going after mainstream games that will likely do big sales and even amass a proper fanbase. Them going after Assassin’s Creed for having a black samurai has put them into conflict with actual black people and not just anti-racist libs, and they are not going to out-post black twitter.
are there any reasons to vote against him?
yea obviously. Trump is more anti-China than Biden. Trump also strengthens ties with Russia, which removes Russia’s need for ties with China.
A vote for Trump is basically a vote for “white racial world alliance”. I’m not white so I would vote against that.
With any other candidate (dems or reps) it will be the usual US Imperialism playbook. With Trump there is a chance that he doesn’t use the playbook, what other POTUS would visit the DPRK and shake hands with Kim? Not saying there is gonna be a dramatic shift in US foreign policy, but there is a question with Trump on what direction it goes.
